Still from American Sniper. The comic is never named, but if you look closely, you can see that it's issue No. 1 of the sixth volume of Punisher, released in January of 2004 (making it very believable as something Biggles could be reading during the platoon's 2004 deployment).
A Dr. Garry Choy, MD, Diagnostic Radiology, answered. Radiation fibrosis is the result of prior radiation exposure that results in scarring of an organ such as breasts, lungs, etc. Post radiation treatment fibrosis is the typical cause.
Can this be caused by radiation treatment that was done to the throat and chest area? I have been coughing ever since I had radiation to my throat and chest area.The radiation ended in September 2013. Another issue is shortness of breath that's persistently getting worse with not that much movement.his is even more likely if you have a past history of smoking. Radiation therapy is not one of the known causes. I will like you to follow up with a pulmonologist to get more answers on this and help resolve your symptoms. I hope this addresses your query fully.
